Hey Guys
A few weeks ago I thought of an idea along with HP called the Franchise Carnival. It is very similar to the Franchise League, but in some areas very different.
One major difference is that there will be a Live random draft. Team Leaders will be chosen, then teams will be randomly assigned to teams (in groups) live on the FFEC 8)
Secondly, this competition is aimed to run quickly and smoothly. I am hoping that there will be 4 Franchises - With 3 Carnival game weeks then a finals round on either the 2nd or 9th of February.
Games will be on Thursdays, and I don't mind makeup games happening on Sundays.
I want the first round to start on the 12th, but if not then the 19th.
So if you are interested, or have any questions, please post below!

You will be put up against people who are closest to your level :)
While I'm at it, are any of you interested in being Team Leaders?
i wouldn't mind going in this only problem i'm not a member so cannot challenge for thursdays
second problem is the GC goes until the 22nd of Jan that is if we come from 1st to 4th
Most teams are Members so we should be right, if not I think we could organise a replacement...
Yeah I'm in too
I'm in, I posted that on the other thread...

I just wanted confirmation :)
We have 12 teams, so would everyone be happy with 4 Franchises of 4? I would be happy to do the draft tomorrow or on Wednesday, and try and start this Thursday...
*EDIT
Could everyone do me a favour and post their friendly ratings? Thanks :)
166k was my last match, and I have a friendly booked for this Thursday, plus not everyone is a FTP member, so it will have to be Sunday.
Good chance your opponent will be a member though... If not I'm ok with make-up games on Sundays
If you aren't a FTP member I seriously recommend it, no Ads, you have a Bid Agent and you get some credits as well...
I rated 159,984 yesterday in a friendly :)
I rated 162k yesterday, so far I think Team Leaders will have to rate somewhere between 155k-170k. Anyone in that area interested? I can take one spot, but we'll need 3 more :)
148k I think.
169,290
yesterday in GC match
180k.
my last friendly rating was 157,989 2 weeks ago, so I'd say ~159k now, judging by my rate of ratings increase throughout the year
176,663 against the fro last night
I am totez keen.
I'll tell you what I rate after Thursday - going to be selling a player or two this week if I win T20.
My rating right now is 147k.
Will let you know if I make any purchases as that would make it increase by a fair bit.
Well now we have 13 because of Nails :P
1 team will just have to have a extra guy...

Voted yes (was one of the first to vote) on your "still interested?" thread....
But I was too lazy to post. :(
Sorry, but I needed people to confirm just in case.
Well didn't Daz say he couldn't play thursdays cos he doesn't have membership and can't play sundays cos of GC.
That would make 12 with nails
Yes but if his opponent has membership he can still play.
What I could do is pair Daz and Nails up - Rotate each week for the first 2, up to the Leader who plays Week 3?

it's ok give the spot to nails
i'l sit this one out like CF said i have the GC tilll the 22nd and if i happened to be paired up against someone without membership or have to change schedules just so i can play someone with membership cuz i can't do a make up on sundays isn't fair to anyone
so he can take my spot and i'll just cheer along
might even join up with a team just to help one of the captains and such as a non playing member ;)
If you want I can play, but not really fussed either way.

Well if we keep Daz we have 13, PB and BB make 15, so we need 1 more person!

or Rooster?
Well my membership just finished off so I could do Sundays I guess :).
By the way, I rated 195k in my most recent friendly :-\.

Haha, thanks Maca. But considering what most others are rating, I may have to rest a tad to get mine to drop say 10-15k for more competitive matches.
Count me in 8)
170k last friendly.
*Thanks for the PM
No worries. This will kick off next Thursday, will sort things out tomorrow :)
Great stuff Q ;)

Well baz has now deactivated. Is he still going to be in the comp?
I asked on FTP, but now Cyrus is saying he can't play ::)
So either we go back down to 12 with pairs or play 3 franchises with 4... Or try and find 1/2 replacements...
Baz still wants to play... We need another replacement...
Wookie Rod Shaggy .....Barlow ::)

nice 8)
BOT
Cyrus leaving makes 15, Torp joining makes 16, and R&B and CM want to join which makes 18.
3 Franchises of 6 or 4 Franchises of 5 (which means we need 2 more people).
I would prefer 4 of 5 but we may well struggle to get those extra two....
Or 6 franchises of 3.
Quote from: PowerBug on January 13, 2012, 10:43:11 AM
Or 6 franchises of 3.
Personally I think we're going to run out of time to play this with some teams not being members, plus the PC coming up... :-\

Well people are joining and leaving so often and I don't want anybody to miss out :-\
So we have to make a decision of
a) 18 people with 6 franchises of 3
b) Wait for 2 more people and make it 4 franchises of 5
c) Cut R&B and CM and make it 4 franchises of 4
Definitely not C :P
C! :P
Or A...
C or A.
D: start in a few weeks so Cyrus can play ;)
D is out of the question. Anybody else have any thoughts...

You won't get it done this season, unless you only have 3 rounds, thus teams of 3...

Finals were planned to be in the Off-Season.
Anyway, I think we will settle for 3 franchises of 6. I will organise the groups and leaders tonight/tomorrow morning and have the draft either Saturday or Sunday.
Only need 3 leaders now... I'll be one so I need 2 more - Need to rate between 155k-170k.
I would, but I am unlikely to be online much this weekend to pick a side.

As said earlier, Leaders don't draft. The draft is random, Leaders just need to organise matches...
Ok, I'll do, but I might rate about about 170k after my pops last night...
Actually, I changed my mind. It doesn't matter what you rate if you want to be a Leader...
R&B - 200k
HP - 195k
ML - 180k
Baz - 180k
Roost - 170k
Fletch - 170k
Daz - 170k

Q, mine are 160k.
I haven't played a friendly for quite a while, but I rated 200k in one about 5 weeks ago.

too late? oh well :(
I can be a leader if you need Q.
What does it require me to do?

Baz and ML's ratings are very close. He is playing against CF today in a friendly, so when that is finished I'll see who go's into Group 1 with R&B and HP, and who goes in Group 2.
I just got invited into a friendly comp on Thursdays, i decline this right as this is on Thursdays??
this is thursdays and sundays if needed

FYI I am not playing a full strength side against CF in our friendly today. Two of my better players are sitting out, so my ratings will be a bit lower than normal.
Luigi can take my place if he wants.
